Defective Product Injuries/Death

Product liability cases tend to be more expensive and difficult than other types of general personal injury cases. The defendant is often a large corporate manufacturer with big dollars to fight, and product liability cases usually involve complex engineering or scientific issues concerning the product’s design, potential hazards the cause of its malfunction. These cases involve significant time and research, and almost always involve testimony from an engineer or other qualified scientific or medical expert to support the claims made. However, I consider product liability claims to be some of the most rewarding because, when I am successful, that means that an unsafe product is being removed from the market, or that a product is modified and made safer for the general public so that others will not be injured or killed in the same way as my client was.

Defective Products

Some of the most severe injuries or tragic deaths I’ve have seen in my experience have been caused by defective products. A claim of product liability can be made in any instance where someone is hurt or killed by any type of defective consumer or industrial product after it was manufactured, placed in the stream of commerce and then purchased and used by an individual or entity. In a product liability lawsuit, the plaintiff seeks to hold the designer, manufacturer, distributor and/or seller of the defective product legally liable for damages arising from the injuries or death caused by that unsafe product.

We have all heard of a “recall” or that a product “has a recall.” These can be required by various government agencies like the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Product recalls can also be generated by the product manufacturer itself. Regardless of whether a “recall” has been issued, almost anything which is manufactured or produced and then placed in the stream of commerce for purchase or consumption by the public can be the subject of product liability litigation. Some examples of these products from across the country are:

motor vehicles such as cars, trucks, vans, SUV’s and motorcycles, along and automotive parts or accessories such as tires, brakes, seatbelts and airbags;

It is very important to preserve the specific product causing a person injury by all possible. The actual product is extremely important to determine the identity of the manufacturer, and to determine what caused the product to fail or cause injury. It is an important piece of evidence that my office can help you preserve immediately after you call me.

Remember, the important thing about a successful product liability claim is that they give the manufacturer the incentive to recall or redesign a dangerous product to avoid further lawsuits and injury to other members of the public. This makes everything at the store safer for us all –which is a good thing.
